In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

After Zhou Xiaoying wrote Spring Festival couplets for others.

I went back to my room to rest.

And Li Duoyu made a red envelope with the remaining red paper, and stuffed all the fish money he earned today into the red envelope:

"It's Chinese New Year, I'll give you a big red envelope."

After Zhou Xiaoying took the red envelope, she didn't open it in a hurry, but put it beside the bed.

Li Duoyu was anxious: "Don't you see how much money you have?"

Zhou Xiaoying, who was a little tired, opened the red envelope and looked at the more than 20 cards of "Unity" inside, with a puzzled expression on her face.

"Duoyu, where did you get so much money?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Hey, I made two hundred and five from selling fish today, and Uncle Zhuang still owes me sixty, so the total is three hundred and one."

"So much." Zhou Xiaoying said with a wry smile: "The money you make in one day is almost equal to more than half a year's salary of mine."

"You can't say that. We fishermen only make this once a year. If the weather is bad, we don't make as much money as you."

Zhou Xiaoying sighed, knowing that Li Duoyu's words were just to comfort her, but thinking about it, it seemed that half a year ago, when he was selling goods, he even laughed at her salary.

Zhou Xiaoying looked at Li Duoyu with both eyes, leaned up to him, and stuffed the red envelope back.

"You should keep the money first. During the Chinese New Year, you also have to spend money on entertainment."

"There's nothing to pay for."

Li Duoyu continued: "How about this, you will be in charge of our family's money in the future, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoying looked at Li Duoyu in disbelief, then shook her head: "Forget it, I just need the basic living expenses."

Li Duoyu looked at the silly woman in his arms, hugged her directly and kissed her face.

"What are you doing?"

"I want to wash your face."

"What's wrong."

In fact, during this period of time, Li Duoyu secretly stuffed the money earned from fishing into Zhou Xiaoying's small iron box vault one after another.

Adding it up now, it is estimated that there are 800 yuan, and he only keeps 50 yuan for turnover.

Of course, he still had 5000 yuan in his passbook, but they didn't tell his family about the loan.

As night falls.

The family got together and had a New Year's Eve dinner.

On the table of the Eight Immortals, besides a big steamed red fish, there are many swimming crabs and various shellfish.

The customs of their family are somewhat different from Dandan Island, but they completely retain the customs of Rongcheng.

The first chopsticks must hold rice cakes.

It means getting taller every year.

The second chopsticks is to drink tofu and sea oyster soup.

It means good luck and well-being.

The third chopsticks are to hold fish.

It means more than every year.

In addition to these, the fish balls that represent reunion and the Taipingyan that represent peace are also essential.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the elders in the family have to give red envelopes and oranges to the youngest children for good luck in the coming year.

At this New Year's Eve dinner, the youngest Li Haoran and Li Xiaorong both received red envelopes and oranges.

And Li Duoyu, who has already married, couldn't help but said: "Mother, Xiao Rong has a red envelope, why don't I have one?"

Aniang rolled her eyes at him: "You're already married, why do you want any more red envelopes?"

"But in my mother's eyes, I'm always a child."

Li Haoran pursed his mouth: "Uncle, you are so shameless, it's fine if you don't give me a red envelope, but you still have to grab it from us juniors."

"Hahaha."

Li Haoran's words made everyone burst into laughter.

After everyone finished the New Year's Eve dinner.

Dad went outside and set off the firecrackers to get rid of the old and welcome the new. At this point, the "year" is over.

But A Niang kept looking outside the door, hoping for a miracle to happen, but she still didn't see that person.

Seeing that my mother was worried, Li Duoyu came over and comforted her: "Don't worry, brother will be back in two years."

Chen Huiying sighed, and scolded: "The temper is as bad as your father's. It's really not as big as your father's stomach. It's really bad enough. If you have a quarrel, you dare not come back for three years."

Li Duoyu also laughed bitterly. His eldest brother Li Jianguo really had the same temperament as his father. If I remember correctly, the machinery factory where his eldest brother works will undergo restructuring in two years.

As the main technical employee, he will be promoted and reused. Also in that year, he fell in love with a good-looking widow in the factory.

On New Year's Eve that year, he went back to Dandan Island.

After eating a large table of food, Li Duoyu came out to stretch his body. He found that the New Year's Eve dinner at Old Hu's house next door seemed to have just begun, but fortunately, all the children who went out to sell goods came back, and it was very lively.

But at this time, Li Xiaorong dragged Li Haoran to rush to the lobby brother's house together, and shouted to everyone:

"Brother, hurry up and get a good seat with my cousin. I heard people say that this year the TV station will broadcast the Spring Festival Gala live."

After being reminded by Xiaorong, Li Duoyu remembered that in 83, it seemed that it was really the first Spring Festival Gala.

Many people of their generation regret not watching the first Spring Festival Gala. It is said that that gala was the real gala. It was very casual and exciting. It also played on-demand phone calls and guessing lantern riddles during the Spring Festival to the extreme.

Seeing that his wife Zhou Xiaoying was going to go back to her room to rest, Li Duoyu quickly pulled her along.

"Come on, let's go to the Spring Festival Gala too."

"No, I want to rest."

Li Duoyu whispered in her ear, "When your child is born, I can accompany you as soon as you want to rest."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoying's ears turned red instantly, and she looked at Li Duoyu angrily and helplessly: "Okay, I'll go see it with you."

Li Duoyu brought a relatively high wooden chair with him. In this day and age, when you go to watch TV at someone else's house, you have to bring your own chair.

And this wooden chair with a backrest is more suitable for pregnant women to sit for a long time.

After arriving at the big brother's house.

Li Duoyu found that the hall was full of relatives and various neighbors, even the third uncle's family came, there were more than 20 people, and the hall was crowded.

Everyone brought small stools and gathered around the 17-inch black and white TV. The cousin generously prepared melon seeds and peanuts for these people watching the TV.

After seeing Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying coming, Li Shuguang picked up the naughty child of his family who was occupying the throne on the spot: "Your aunt is here. You are so weak-sighted. Get up quickly."

Then, he said to Li Duoyu:

"Come here and sit for Xiaoying."

Li Duoyu said, "How embarrassing is this?" The next second he put the backrest chair he brought with him in the best position. .

The chubby Li Haoran took advantage of the situation and sat in front of the armchair.

The third uncle, Li Zhengfa, looked at the black and white TV in front of him, and said with great emotion, "If the house has not been ransacked, everyone can go to my house to watch color TV."

"Then wait until you make a lot of money next year, and then buy it. Then, we will go to your house to look at it."

"Okay, next year, I will also buy the refrigerator and make popsicles for you."

And around eight o'clock, everyone quieted down, and at this moment the four characters "Congratulations on the New Year" appeared on the screen.

After a few seconds.

This is when Lao Zhao, who is still in charge of the news broadcast, came out and shouted to everyone: "Dear viewers, on this happy New Year's Eve, the Central People's Broadcasting Station..."
